Catching up Summer 2011

We have had a busy few weeks. Here are some photos of what we’ve been up to! Below are some photos from the Orange Show.

McDonalds is always a fun treat for the girls. I love how entertainment is so very simple with toddlers!

This is June’s new friend Georgia who will be in her class at school next year! So excited!

My friend Stephanie and I had a downtown adventure one day searching out great photo locations and some awesome graffiti walls! Her little boys are perfect models!!

Above are just some pics I snapped right before church because the girls looked so cute. Junie loves her Sunday school class now and hardly cries anymore! She loves to stop in the lobby and point and name all the animals in the mural that mommy painted for the children’s building! She tells people that she is an artist now and we went to her very first art class at the museum!!

 

These are their friends, Mitchel and Tristan that June wants to marry. She used to tell me she wanted to marry Daddy or Jesus and now its these boys…yes both of them. She asks me every day if I am married and I say yes I’m married to Daddy. She asks if we had a good cake and tells me she wants to get married too. She has been watching The Little Mermaid quite a bit and there is a scratch on the disk that plays the wedding scene at the end over and over sometimes. I think that is where the obsession started!

It has only rained once this summer. We took advantage of a the puddles. Again…easliy entertained. The simple joy of childhood.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Jimmy was off for a week and we went to the beach on Monday. Jimmy fished with Joseph and June spent some quality time with her bestie Uncle Jojo! I was kinda jealous when she fell asleep in his arms being  as she NEVER does this with me.
The girls spent some long hours at the beach and took loooong naps!

We came home Wednesday for a few days to tend to the yard and feed the ferrets. June picked a huge basket of figs in the backyard.

She ate tons of them!

Then back to the beach house Friday for some fun with Grammy and Pa!

Saturday we went to Aunt MArjorie and Uncle Jon’s beach house down the street for some bar-b-q and fun!

June loves her cousin Emily!

…and “pupcakes”

The girl could play with shrimp all day and not get bored!

 

Here are some shots of June before church that I could not choose which one to post, so I just posted them all. I can never get her to smile for the camera, so these are priceless to me! They were accompanied by handfuls of skittles!

On the fourth of July we had our friends and neighbors over for a fun Bar-B-Que!

Is this not the cutest baby ever? She looks like she is filled with sweet cream or jelly like a jelly donut! I start to crave Shipleys whenever I hold her.

 

This was my creative attempt at dessert. June managed to eat half of them, just the chocolate of course. She had a pile of strawberries on her plate… I did not give her any of them. She has a way of commandeering desserts from unsuspecting guests who can’t say no to that sweet little voice!

We watched an amazing fire works display right from our front yard! It was fabulous and June LOVED it! All the beighbors came out and sat in our lawn. So fun! Another fourth of July come and gone. Now its time to plan Junie’s third birthday!
